Objective To explore the applicable conditions for using urine plutonium monitoring data to assess personal internal doses,in order to provide references for the occupational health management and the urine plutonium monitoring in nuclear sector.Methods Using some plutonium mixtures from DOE nuclear facilities,as an example,the urine plutonium levels were estimated through simulation calculation at 1 mSv effective dose arising from either acute or chronic inhalation of plutonium compounds,respectively.The results were compared with the typical detection limit of radiochemical separation and α-spectrometry.The feasibility of urine plutonium monitoring for dose assessment of internal radiation exposure was discussed.Results Only for type M plutonium compunds,1 mSv detection limit can be achieved using radiochemical separation and α-spectrometry within 10 d after inhalation.Conclusions Before the monitoring plan of urine plutonium is made,detection limits of monitoring method should be considered.Internal dose could be accessed using workplace air monitoring and working hours when necessary.

Objective To provide a scientific benchmark for the era of population aging and improve the medical care environment for the elderly in terms of hospital facility accessibility.Methods A random sampling method was used to select 375 individuals from 10 healthcare institutions in a specified city as survey participants from December 2022 to February 2023.A total of 375 questionnaires titled"Comprehensive Rating Scale for Patient Experience in Medical Facilities(Accessibility Category)"were distributed among the participants,with 356 valid responses received and subjected to reliability and validity assessments.The questionnaire included 6 accessibility indicators,each rated from 1 to 10,to evaluate the accessibility level of healthcare fa-cilities.The acquired data was analyzed using the Rank Sum Ratio method and the Four Quadrants model.Results The average score for building accessibility in the city's medical institutions was 35.86,with several indicators at a moderate level,indicating a need for an improvement of the facility accessibility.Meanwhile,the economic operational status of various medical institutions appeared to influence the implementation of accessibility features,which also correlated with local government construction plan-ning,staff awareness of accessible infrastructure,and other factors.Conclusion Medical facilities in cities could implement bar-rier-free modifications in parking,toilets,and other areas,improve the use of accessible AI technology,and develop intelligent medical scenarios in order to meet the challenges of an aging society,improve the medical care quality for the elderly,and reduce social security cost.The governments should accelerate the improvement of supportive policies and regulations and bolster support for the accessibility enhancements.Higher education and research institutions can collaborate with healthcare providers for innova-tive integration of industry academia,research,and application,fostering the conversion of research into practical solutions.

Background:
An in vitro study on rapid culturing method of human gingival fibroblast cells (HGFCs) was established to investigate the potential use of the leukocyte-platelet rich fibrin (L-PRF) in tissue engineering technology, different medical fields, including periodontology and implantology.
Methods:
Eight biopsies were obtained from eight different donors and a modified culturing technique was developed to obtain HGFCs. The modified 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide MTT assay was used to compare the cell viability when the modified culturing method was used in comparison to the standard method. Blood samples were collected from the same patients and L-PRF was isolated using a standard protocol. The releases of platelet-derived growth factor-AA and transforming growth factor-beta1 at various time intervals were observed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The proliferative effect of L-PRF on HGFCs was assessed by the cell counting kit—8 assay.
Results:
A simple and rapid modified method for in vitro HGFC culture yielded a cellular monolayer within three to nine days after cell culture. L-PRF with three-dimensional polymer fibers released growth factors that peaked during the first three hours and continued to produce up to 10 days. The L-PRF presented a dose-dependent effect on HGFCs proliferation where HGFCs proliferation increased with an increase in L-PRF concentration.
Conclusion
The modified technique for the culture of HGFCs might be useful for the development of future experimental and clinical studies, besides L-PRF has great therapeutic potential in oral surgery fields.

Background: The "two-week visiting rate in those needing to visit" has been examined extensively as an important indicator of healthcare seeking behavior in China. Nevertheless, its relationship with health behaviors, such as physical activity, remains unknown. In addition, a significant difference exists between urban and rural Chinese people in terms of physical activity and healthcare seeking behavior. This study sought to investigate the relationship between physical activity and the two-week visiting rate by conducting a stratified analysis.Methods: The analysis included 5,801 participants aged above 15 years old. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to analyze the association after adjusting for possible confounding variables. Urban and rural differences were investigated using stratified analysis. Results: Adjusted estimates showed that those who were physically active were more likely to visit a healthcare facility, but only among the whole sample (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.45, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.26–1.66) and the rural sample (AOR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.21–2.01), and not among the urban sample. Conclusions: Educating people on physical activity may help in improving healthcare seeking behavior and vice versa. Additionally, health interventions may be tailored based on different settings.
